Films based on video games sure have come a long way since 1993’s Super Mario Bros.

Disney’s Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s adaptation of Ubisoft’s time-traveling, action-adventure game. The film is directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and scripted by Jordan Mechner, creator of the Prince of Persia game.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Zodiac, Donnie Darko) plays the Prince who must acquire and then protect the “Dagger of Time” from evil men hellbent on world domination. The movie also stars Ben Kingsley (Shutter Island, Suspect Zero), Alfred Molina (Spiderman 2, Identity), and Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans 2010).
